We are all too apt to consider a lountain as a garden luxury beyond our means. Given an adequate water supply, 
a simple concrete basin of this type may be built very inexpensively. Chas. W. Leavitt, Jr., landscape architect 
An interesting variation of the usual garden is shown 
above, where instead of being in path-divided beds, the 
flowers are massed around an open grass plot, edged 
with stepping-stones 
If your house is ot the Colonial type, nothing will so 
well serve to bring the garden into harmony with it 
as a white-painted picket fence and arched gate 
It is an idea full of real hospitality that provides a home 
flower garden flanking the central path which is the 
main entrance to the house 
Water lends an invaluable charm to any garden, par¬ 
ticularly when it is made to serve as an opportunity 
for informal bridges and rock-edged ponds
